Not only an Oscar-winning song, this track from A Star is Born from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper gave Gaga her first UK Number 1 song for over eight years, spending two weeks at the top at the end of 2018. To misquote Lady Gaga herself: you can have 100 positions in the Top 100, but it only takes 1 to be a Number 1.
Another Oscar winner, Sam Smith caused some slight controversy when they picked up their award for this track from Bond movie SPECTRE and erroneously claimed to be the first "openly gay man" to win an Academy Award. They could take comfort, however, from the fact that Sam was definitely the first artist to have a Number 1 with a Bond theme and, even more bravely, despite not mentioning the title of the movie in the song at all. This 2016 Number 1 has amassed 740,000 combined sales.
